My reflections on my life caused me to identify with the lives of other women who struggle to change their world. All women are creators of life and change the world each in their own way. Many of my paintings are related to the lives of remarkable women in history that share a common trait that is significant—courage. I am inspired by the profound courage of these women in the face of danger. In a world dominated by men, any attempt to change the world for the better requires the inner strength found at the core of what makes a woman a warrior.
